Frequently Asked Questions

HOW DO I ORDER MATERIALS ?

Barnwood and reclaimed can be very subjective, no two pieces are the same and this is part of what makes it special! We’ve learned that it is best to have conversations with people about their projects so we can apply our knowledge to your ideas and help provide great outcomes. To this end we encourage you to give a call or send an email with your details and we will get back to you as quickly as we can.
Some of our common questions to you are:

  • Interior or exterior?
  • Application- wall, ceiling, furniture grade etc.
  • Quantity?
  • Preferred length and width?
  • Color(s) preference?

DO YOU OFFER FREE ESTIMATES OR QUOTES?

DO I NEED TO SCHEDULE A DESIGN CONSULTATION?

Yes, we like to schedule design meetings to ensure we have plenty of time to get through all the details without interruption, typically this takes one to two hours. Please come prepared with any info available to you, dimensions, colors, pictures of other things you’ve seen that you like, your timeframe and anything else that’s relevant. Please call or e-mail us to schedule a design meeting.

WHAT ARE THE BEST FINISHING PRACTICES?

  • We get lots of questions about finishing reclaimed materials, we’d like to share a couple of our main guiding principles.
  • Unless the reclaimed is in a location where you're in contact with it regularly, like a countertop it's usually best to not finish it at all.
  • If you put any kind of solvent based product on the grey Barnwood it will turn the grey very dark.
  • If you put any kind of solvent based finish on brown Barnwood it will make it darker but also bring up rich warm tones.
  • Water based poly wont change the look much but will give a glossy finish even if it's called matte finish.
  • Unless it's going to get heavy daily use our preferred finish for shelves and tops is beeswax.
  • If it's going to get heavy repeated use and cleaning we use a commercial 2K poly for finishing.
